    Mhi’ya is so iconic!
    1) survived 3 lipsync
    2) placed 7th with more than half her costumes missing
    3) won lipsyncs without wigs or shoes
    4) simply used AI for inspiration and told the world as she shrugged
    5) silent but deadliest shade
    6) best stunts on rpdr
    7) slelpt during her meet and greet with Rupaul
    8) survived 3 design challenges without having to lift a finger
    an ICON! 👏

    Another thing I think was baffling about the Mhi’ya hate was how people were consistently saying she was boring and had no personality, but the second she started being shady, they then complained about her being rude and cocky. Like, what do you want then ?

    • @rasmusmalmberg6468

      None of the hate made sense. People were extremely vocal about calling for Rupaul to punish her when she got help in the sewing challenge and played dirty in her lip sync against Morphine. Despite the fact that she was in the bottom during that challenge and lost that lip sync. The haters literally wanted her to experience some kind of additional cruel and unusual punishment or something. I hope Mhi'ya flips her way through life and never lets those creeps hold her down. It's easy to tell who here should shy away from spreading hate online and choose to be more outgoing towards positivity and kindness.

    I think Mhi'ya is a really good example of how weird Rate A Queen is, I think it was meant to cause a lot of drama, but the queens didn't really fight over it at all, and instead of a few queens getting two unjust placements as a trade off for really good drama, Mhi'ya was shafted twice and barely anything came out of it

    I have a personal pet peeve for girls who show up who can't contruct a tube dress, at the very least. With that prejudice, I just couldnt get behind Mhi'ya. Even if she didn't know how to sew, she didn't even know how to hot glue without help. I know that she did some great things on her run, and that sewing challenges are not the most popular...but it's not like there have been a ton of seasons without a single sewing challege.

    I honestly think Mhi'ya had a great run on the competition. She fell very under the radar in the first few episodes, I didn't really think she was much of an underdog. But it is noticeable how further she got. Her timid behavior switched around after Snatch Game. She definitely won the lipsync against Plasma, who in turn had a finished story arc imo.
    The other thing that was building up was her story arc with Morphine, so saving her for a showdown between the two was a great ending. She went out on a challenge she isn't good at, so it also makes sense. She really established herself as the lipsync assassin, solidified herself as the flip queen and really came out her shell.
    While she isn't a fan favorite of mine, I definitely was a highlight of the season!

    Amanda could’ve taken Mhi’ya’s spot in the bttm 3 in the design challenge bc ppl like Mirage admitted to ranking her group higher for personal reasons. It truly sucked what happened to Mhi’ya with that designer bc wow that sucks shame on the designer. Mhi’ya was the queen I expected to be in the bttm a lot the moment she said she’s a great dancer bc we always have that one dancing queen who is put in the bttm a lot (tbf her bttm placements were correct) to get rid of queens which ends up causing fans to hate her especially when she sent home Plasma who was a front runner.

    I will talk on a personal level, I enjoyed her as a character on the show, but greatly dislike some of the attitudes that were portrayed, maybe by the edit or herself, but it was a turn off, I can say the same for plane Jane and even dawn.
    I will never go as far as saying rude things about her, I just did not enjoy her personality.
    As a side note I tried really hard to watch roscoe's viewing party with her as a guests, and it just confirmed (to me) her shy and uptight personality, which is OK, but still difficult to enjoy for entertainment purposes, at some points if it were not for the rest of the queens on stage, the show would've been very question - yes and no answer.
    Hope she get booked consistently since she is a great performer. But on a reality TV standpoint, she was lacking.

    I think when it comes to Miyah and her lip sync with plasma, yes, lip-synchs for your life should be the deciding factor however, in reality it isn’t. I think there’s more to a girl going home then just losing the lip-synch. If we’re going to be honest, Jinkx monsoon did not win her lip-synch in the finale of all star seven but she still overall did better in the competition and that’s why she won the crown. I think the reason ultimately a lot of people thought my should’ve gone home is like you said it just got to a point where Maya wasn’t growing as a queen, and she wasn’t really taking the judges critiques, seemingly into consideration. She could’ve been edited differently, but she wasn’t really a big personality. She didn’t really have a lot of great confessional moments. Her look weren’t the best, I think, by the time her lips sink with plasma happen I got to where I think she wasn’t adding value to the competition itself.

    Good arguments, overall I don’t agree with you, I definitely don’t think she should’ve stayed as long as she did. I had one critique about one of the arguments you made: if the lip syncs do not take into account past performances, then why did Amanda go home to Q earlier in the season? Amanda did significantly better in that lip sync but Q stayed… I think we need to get rid of the arguments that the judges only factor in lip syncs, or the opposing argument that the judges take into consideration past performance. I think it’s a case-by-case basis, and they ultimately just decide who they think will be better for tv in the long haul

    What bothers me about Mhi'ya vs Plasma lipsync and Mhi'ya staying over her, it was not because it wasn't deserved. It's because Q stayed over Amanda after she lost and the double standard shows off. That is not Mhi'ya's or Plasma's fault, Mhi'ya fought and won the lipsync.
